Mission Statement:
The mission of Dodge Hunger is to create a welcoming and positive environment for the Salt Lake community and college
students to participate in a friendly dodge ball tournament that will help feed Utah families through the holiday season with
donations of nonperishable food items.
Vision Statement:
For the 2014 holiday season, we will build awareness about hunger around the Salt Lake Community by partnering with
the Utah Food Bank to provide families from low socioeconomic backgrounds with food for the holidays.
Values: Our values serve as standards for our program and our personal actions:
Needs Assessment:
The Utah Food Bank is a nonprofit organization in the state of Utah that distributes meals to over 31 million people in
29 counties (Utah Food Bank: Fighting Hunger Statewide, 2014). This organization requires help from community
members in order to operate and get the supplies needed to make an impact. The Utah Food Bank has partnered with
134 agencies to help generate the resources necessary to provide meals to those in need (Utah Food Bank: Fighting
Hunger Statewide, 2014). Without these food donations, it would be very difficult for the Utah Food Bank to make an
impact fighting hunger in the community. Dodge Hunger will be an active partner with the Utah Food Bank and call upon
students and community members to bring cans of food as an entrance fee to the dodgeball tournament. In turn, these
cans will be donated to the Utah Food Bank, which will aid those in need, as the current state of Utah in relation to hunger
4
is concerning (Hunger in Utah, 2014). Some statistics from the Utah Food Bank hunger facts page truly show the current
need for improvement and increased awareness.
1/5 Utah kids dont know where their next meal is coming from
1/6 Utahans are at risk of missing a meal each day
444,000 people (16% of Utahs population) are food insecure
The Utah Food Bank relies heavily on donors for resources; most of the food donations come from the community or
the government (Financial Information, 2014). As a nonprofit organization, these donors are key. By the community
donating food and money, the Utah Food Bank can better help those in need during the holiday season. The Utah Food
Bank is also very efficient at transforming monetary donations into a broader impact on those in need (Financial
Information, 2014). These statistics from the utahfoodbank.org financial page demonstrate this need:
Utah Food Bank can turn every $1 donation into $7.61 worth of goods and services due to the incredible support of
volunteers and in-kind donors
For every $1 donation, 96 cents goes directly to food and services; only 4 cents of every dollar goes to
administration and overhead
By hosting Dodge Hunger, we hope to raise 300 cans of food to donate to the Utah Food Bank. In doing this, we can
bring more awareness to the local community about the need to help the less fortunate fight hunger and provide these
individuals with food for the holiday season. An increased amount of awareness is crucial to combating hunger in the
greater Salt Lake Area because statistically nearly 20% of our citys youth will struggle with hunger in their lifetime (Utah
Food Bank, 2014). At a young age, a childs primary focus or need should not be where the next meal is coming from, it
should be more carefree and fun, so Dodge Hunger will promote a healthy, fun, and competitive activity with the focus
being donations from participants and the surrounding community.

Diversity Plan
In the Dodge Hunger tournament, we are going to call upon the Salt Lake City community to participate and
increase awareness about the hunger level in the area. We would like to unite as many people as possible in hopes of
raising this awareness and will be targeting everyone to join the program by reaching out to people from diverse
backgrounds. Everyone should feel welcome and be able to have a good time and meet new people. The tournament will
cater to a large audience by increasing accessibility to the event and allowing people from all physical, emotional, sexual,
socioeconomic, and racial backgrounds to come. Dodge Hunger will be a place where individuals can come and not only
forget about all their problems and situations they may be dealing with in their lives, but build relationships with others
through making a difference in families lives by helping to feed them through the holiday season. A step we are taking to
implement this equal atmosphere is the location of the facility itself. The facility is located in a lower income area of the
Great Salt Lake region. Physical differences and barriers are addressed through the facility itself. The Taylorsville
Recreation Center is a Salt Lake County operated building thus insuring that it is an equal opportunity place for recreation.
Socioeconomic diversity is being tackled through the process of the food drive itself, both on the giving and
receiving ends. All donations collected will be given directly to the Utah Food Bank, which distributes them throughout
Utah to families that need them. The cost of admission into the event is another avenue in which socioeconomic status
could create issues and exclusion. To help diminish this problem, we made the cost of admission three cans of
nonperishable food items. A single can of food can cost as low was $0.69, making admission costs roughly $2.00.
However, we also made extra cans of food available for individuals if they were unable to provide their own.
The Taylorsville Recreation Center has made a strong effort to make their facility accessible to all that desire to
recreate with them. As a Salt Lake County facility, a government funded entity; it is required by law to comply with ADA
standards. The Taylorsville Recreation Centers website (slco.org/recreation/Taylorsville) shows its commitment to
accommodating customers with disabilities. The popularity among individuals with disabilities has grown enough that they
have also started an adaptive recreation program at their facility. Wheelchairs can easily fit in and around the event area,
including doorways, which were either propped open or had a button that could be pushed to hold them open, and around
and between the two courts. The counter height of the facility and the tables we used were at heights that could be easily
13
reached by a person in a wheelchair. There is also a bathroom large and maneuverable enough for a wheelchair to get
around. They are also willing to work around the needs of the participants that are not already available and make prompt
accommodations with 72 hours notice, if possible.
The Taylorsville Recreation Center has several accessible parking spaces, each with room on at least one side to
load and unload passengers and equipment. They are located on the edge closest to the door and are near a ramp to
allow wheelchairs to get on to the sidewalk. For those without an accessible vehicle, paratransit is available through Utah
Transit Authority upon request. TRAX is available and wheelchair-friendly. Bus route 227 also has a stop at 4700 S and
2700 W, just a small distance from the Recreation Center.
Aside from diversity in ability and socioeconomic status, we also incorporated differences in other areas. Gender
diversity was promoted through coed teams. Variety in age was also present. We had a minimum age of 18 for liability
reasons, but participants of all ages above 18 were encouraged to come out and participate in the tournament. Racial
diversity was not focused on but was not avoided either, announcements and social media reached beyond racial bounds.
The vast community at the University level ensured the exposure of our event to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.
Taylorsville also boasts a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds, many of which attended the tournament.

Promotional Materials
We plan to emphasize the use of various promotional materials for our Dodge Hunger event. We have to identify
who our target audience is. Our event is specifically focused for college students and 18+ adults. We decided that social
media would be the best place to reach this target age. We have built two logos for our event. The first logo will be placed
on the t-shirts for our winners and the staff t-shirts. The second logo will be used in our flyer. Our flyer contains a logo,
event, date, time, location and our sponsors for the event. We then used the flyer by promoting it on our Facebook event
page. In order to motivate people to come to our event, we have found prizes that are incentives for the teams that placed
in the top three. These prizes have been posted on our event page.

Facebook
We are creating an event page that has details on
what, when and why we are doing the event. This will give
our participants the vital information they need on when they
should arrive, where the event is being held and who can all
participate in the event. We will use this page as a way to
invite our friends, promote with the general public and as a
forum to give updates to our participants. This page will be
utilized as the main forum to build excitement, educate on the
needs of the Utah Food Bank and to encourage competition.
This page will also link you to our donation page with the
Utah Food Bank website giving people who cannot
participate in our event a way to still donate to our program.
This will give our participants a way to see how much we
have collected through cash donations or other donation drop
offs that are made in our name prior to the event. The event
page will link to registration for the event through the
Taylorsville Recreation Centers website. This will make it
convenient for our participants as they arrive at the event,
limiting the paperwork that they will have to fill out upon
arrival. We will require that each staff member invite their
friends to the event page and also that they share it on their
Facebook at least three times the week of the event to raise
viewer contact and awareness of the even
17
Twitter
We will have our Twitter account linked to Instagram, therefore, anytime we post a picture to Instagram it will
automatically share on Twitter. Once again, just like Instagram we will have hash tags on the posts to make it easier for
Twitter users to find our event. This is all going to be linked back to our Facebook page giving Twitter users easy access
to the event information and registration.
Instagram
We will be posting our event logo with our sponsorships and a link to our Facebook event page on Instagram. We
will be using hash tags like #dodgehunger #dodgeball and #UtahRecreation to broaden our viewer contact on Instagram.
This will give Instagram viewers an easy way to be linked to our event by allowing them to search hash tags that they are
interested in. If they come across our photo, it will give them an easy way to get linked to all of the information on the
Facebook page. We will be posting one picture per day at different times the week of the event to make sure that our
event stays current and is one of the top pictures when that hash tag is searched.

Target Audience
With running this dodge ball tournament we decided to target
college students and individuals around the age of eighteen and older for
several reasons, one being that we wanted to keep our age group above
the age of eighteen for liability and risk management purposes. By doing
this we would not have to worry about the players having a guardian
present to sign forms and stay for the tournaments entirety. We also
decided to target the college students because it would better allow us to
decide the time and day of the event because as college students
ourselves we better know when we could participate in an event like this.
Lastly we knew that college students are very connected into social media
forums so we knew that marketing for this event would be extremely
successful if we were to target it to an audience that is connected to our
marketing sources.
Promotional Budget
We had a large budget going into our promotion plan because of all
the helpful donations from organizations and businesses that supported our event. For today flyers and posters are not
19
the most effective ways of promoting an event. The easiest and most inexpensive way was through the use of social
media. This helped the promotional aspect of our event, because we had more money to spend on getting prizes and
other incentives to get participants interested in our event.
Our budget was three hundred dollars for prizes for our event. We felt that Jazz tickets would be a great way of
getting people to come. We decided that we would spend two hundred and fifty for our main prize on Jazz basketball
tickets while using the remaining fifty dollars on gift cards from Whole Foods. Our budgeting was very simple due to all the
donations we had for prizes and poster contributions.
Financial Plan
Sponsorships
We had several companies sponsor our event, covering the venue, snacks, refreshments, staff and championship
shirts, and some of the materials. The sponsors logos were featured on several banners that we hung up around the
event area as well as on the back of the staff and championship shirts. A Whole Foods banner was displayed over the
20
snacks and drinks they donated and there were logos from each sponsor on our brackets. We also announced our
sponsors over the PA system in between each game and made sure to thank them for their donations. This combination
allowed the brands to be marketed to nearly 150 people at our tournament in exchange for their gifts.

Evaluations
The Evaluation committee is in charge of developing a useful plan to evaluate our programs
success as well as identifying what needs improvement. Create and implement an evaluation
plan that will collect qualitative and quantitative data from our target population which is mainly
college students and young adults. Analysis and conclusions will be drawn from the
evaluations measuring outputs, outcomes, and impacts of our event then analyze the
information collected.
Facilitation and
Management
Facilitation and Management team is responsible for figuring out the pure logistics of the event.
They plan out every aspect of the event as well as creating a schedule for where each person
within the program will be and when. The Facilitation and Management team has the
responsibility of creating a detailed schedule of the entire event and making sure it is carried
out with ease. This group is creating a blueprint of the event with all the information that would
be needed to carry out the event if they were not present.
Financial Plan
The financial team is responsible for developing and maintaining a balanced budget throughout
the entire event. They are in charge of creating a spreadsheet that will keep all expenditures
organized and managed. The financial team is also responsible for all money transactions;
they oversee all spending and take account of estimated costs of sponsors donations before,
during and after the event.
Marketing and
Promotional Plan
The marketing team will design a plan to promote our event to our target population through
many resources. The Marketing team will use social media such as Facebook and Twitter as
well as posting posters at key locations to draw people to the event. The Promotional group
works seamlessly with the Marketing group finding sponsors willing to donate to our event and
designing banners and fliers while promoting our stand on Utah hunger.
Operation Plan
Risk Management
The Operations team is in charge of overseeing all the committees and groups within the
bigger programming group. Knowing and recording the responsibilities of each individual team,
operations are aware of each groups progress and the needs of each group.
The Risk Management team is responsible for evaluating and developing a plan for any
possible situation that may arise during our program in conjunction with potential risk and
24
liability issues. Ensuring the safety for the participants, staff, and the facility. Our entire team
will be up to speed on the risk management protocol thus ensuring safety measures are
understood and met.
Pre-packaged food from Whole Foods will be served at the event. There is a potential for participants to be at risk
for food poisoning or choking. If a choking incident were to occur, an individual who is CPR certified will be ready to
handle any incidents that occur. One group member who has their food handler permit will be serving the food to ensure
safe handling. Food handlers will be provided with non-allergenic protective gloves. Signs will be posted in front of all food
that the participants may consume warning about any food allergies (soy, tree nuts, peanuts, etc.) *Please refer to
Appendix C for confirmation on Food Handlers Certificates.
Security
Security will be provided at the event that will closely monitor for prohibited items or in the case any fights break
out. We will have Carley Hawkins and Lisa Johnson be in charge of the event. The person who is in charge needs to
announce to the participants they are in charge so they know who to go to if there are any problems. We will ensure that
person is free from all activities so they can manage all aspects of the event. This person will be responsible for handling
any situation that arises such as accidents, spills, and unruly participants. There will be a referee on each court making
any calls that may become questionable and will also call a fair game. We will ensure that every person involved in the
event gets a list of the rules and what we expect.
Liability Waiver
There is a risk of injury so we will require all of those who play to sign a waiver. We will then turn these waivers into
the PRT program and they will keep them on file for four years. These waivers will protect the University of Utah from
lawsuits by those who may get an injury. We will turn over all liability to U of U if we are negligent. If it is the participants
fault then they are responsible. Everyone that enters a public building, like Taylorsville Recreation Center is covered by
the Patron Code of Conduct, this Code of Conduct covers the center and our event from any liability issues from
spectators at the event getting hurt. *Please refer to Appendix A for University of Utah Liability Waiver. Refer to Appendix
B for Taylorsville Liability Waiver.
26
pack supplies. A record of all injuries will be documented and kept that occur during the event. *Refer to Appendix D to
see certifications for CPR and First Aid Certified individuals as well as the Injury Report at the end of the document.
Personnel
We will ensure through our projected numbers of spectators and participants based on Facebook invitations and
team signup sheet that we have enough PRT students and volunteers to provide supervision.
Equipment
Some of the more probable risk would come from high-speed balls to the face. Taking a ball to the face can result
in both minor and serious injuries. Getting hit in the face with a ball can cause minor headaches and dizziness. Getting hit
in the face can also cause serious injuries such as a broken nose. You can get hit in the eye which can cause a loss of
vision for a short term amount of time and with playing dodgeball you never know where a ball is coming from so there is
also a risk of getting hit in the private region which can cause a lot of pain. To ensure the safety of all the participants and
spectators we will be using Gator Balls. Gator Balls are rubber substitute covered foam filled balls.
27
Emergency procedures
With all the emergency procedures to cover, one of the main things we had to find out was where they keep the
Automated External Defibrillator, also known as the AED. At Taylorsville Recreation Center they keep it in the Directors
office so in case of an emergency we would need to get the director to be able access the AED. There are a total of 5
different emergency exits located throughout the whole recreation center. In the case of a blood spill we would be required
to use protective equipment such as a pair of rubber, latex gloves. In the case of a large blood spill it would also be a
possibility to have to cover your mouth and face area. You would want to cover the spill area with a paper towel and then
pour freshly mixed 10% bleach and water solution over the paper towel. You would want to work from the outside edges
of the spill inward when applying the bleach solution. When disposing of the materials you want to place bleached
material, gloves and other disposable materials into a labeled biohazard bag and place into either another labeled
biohazard bag or container. In case of a fire, when exiting the building it is important to stay calm and not panic and run
out the building. First we would want to contact the Department of Public Safety at 711. Then once everyone is evacuated
you would want to notify the first responding agency of any disabled, trapped or injured people. Once you notify the first
respondents, you would need to make sure nobody ever re-enters the building unless they were told to do so by the
Department of Public Safety. In case of a small fire, if it is safe to do so you can attempt to extinguish the fire. It is
important to choose the correct fire extinguisher, and not to use water or foam on an electrical fire.

the playing area to supply information about hunger in Utah to our participants.
Wrist Bands: To ensure that all liability waivers are turned in for every active participant, a wrist band will be put on the
participants wrist as they turn in their liability waiver. The wrist band makes it easy to check that everyone has turned in

Set up Registration form: Registration is available online through our Facebook page, Dodge Hunger. The registration

Official Rules:
THE TEAM
Teams will be made up of 6-10 players. Six (6) players will compete on a side; others will be available as substitutes.
Substitutes may enter the game only during timeouts or in the case of injury.
The Field
The game may be played indoors or outdoors. The playing field shall be a rectangle at least 50 ft long and at least 30 ft
wide, divided into two (2) equal sections by a center-line and attack-lines 3m from, and parallel to the centerline.
IDEAL MEASUREMENTS: 60 x 30 Identical to a volleyball court playing area
THE EQUIPMENT
The official ball used in tournament and league play will be an 8.25" rubber-coated foam ball.
THE GAME
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by:
1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders.
2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
Definition: LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball,
another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)
No Headshots! If you get hit in the head, you are not out and may have a one-minute timeout to recover if deemed
necessary by the supervisor.
o If you get hit with the ball in the air you are out. Balls that ricochet off multiple players before hitting the
ground are all
out.
36
o If someone catches your ball in the air you are out. Balls that ricochet off multiple before being caught; the
player who threw the ball is out.
o Once you are out, you must stand next to the scoring official in the order of you becoming out. You may
retrieve balls for your team.
o You may reenter the court if your team catches a ball. You must enter the court in the same order of coming
off the court.
o Players must stay within the court line (i.e. if you dodge a ball a ball inbounds and land out of bounds, you
are out). Catching a ball out of bounds means nothing, unless it ricocheted off a player first, therefore, the
player who threw the ball is out
o A neutral zone will be set up in the center of the court. Players may retrieve the ball from this zone, but must
attempt a throw from behind their designated line.
HEADSHOTS
A headshot occurs when a player is hit directly in the head by a high thrown ball.
5-SECOND VIOLATION
In order to reduce stalling, a violation will be called if a team in the lead controls all six (6) balls on their side of the court
for more than 5 seconds. This also applies to tied teams.
RULE ENFORCEMENT
During play, rules will be enforced primarily by the "honor system"*. Players will be expected to rule whether or not a hit
was legal or whether they were legally eliminated. All contests will be supervised by a court monitor*. The court monitors
responsibility will be to rule on any situation in which teams cannot agree. THE COURT REFEREES DECISION IS FINAL
NO EXCEPTIONS.
REFEREE
A referee will supervise all games. The referees decision is final! No exceptions!
Excessive arguing will cost that team another player. All players are expected to be honorable and on their best behavior.
Please call yourself out even if the referee did not see you!!!
CHEATING
Any player caught cheating (example: sneaking back into the game after already being called out) will be called
out again and will also cost his or her team an additional two outs. The additional two outs will be two random
players selected by the referee. All players are expected to be on their best behavior and will be playing on their honor.
NOTE OF CAUTION:
Protect yourself at all times! An opposing player may not know you are out. Avoid getting hurt by raising your hand and
getting off the court immediately once you are called out and be on the lookout as you are getting off. Protect yourself
even if you are not playing and watching from the stands as well!
38
Out of the 6 teams that win during pool play, the top 4 teams will get a bye into the second round of the single-elimination
tournament. This will be determined as follows:
1. The higher cumulative number of players remaining on the winning team after the set of 3 games.
2. If two teams are tied, the tie will be broken with rock-paper-scissors.

Evaluation
43
44
The type of reliability that this event will have is inter-rater reliability. The
type of reliability is inter-rater because we will have multiple people
taking the same questionnaire while they are waiting in between the
games. This may increase our response rate and hopefully we will get
consistency in our numbers to increase our reliability. The type of validity
that we used in creating this survey is face validity. We were able to get
a small amount of feedback with our thoughts on our questionnaire
during our class time. We also had a discussion with our group and got
some feedback from our TA about what we were planning to do. After this
feedback we came up with the structure we currently have. In addition
to these opinions, we also piloted the evaluation with a couple of people
outside the class and had them fill it out just to make sure that the survey
methods made sense and the questions were understandable.
Evaluation Summary
45
After reviewing our qualitative and quantitative data we noticed some patterns in our information as well as some
surprises. One of the questions we asked was how did the participants hear about the event? As seen in table 3, 51% of
people heard about the event from their friends. The second largest percentage of 14% was people hearing about the
event from family and 13% of people heard of the event from the department. This information suggests that word of
mouth was the best way to market our event. In our qualitative data we also asked for any additional comments people
had about the event. People had many
comments about the organization of the referees
and the games. The participants felt that the
referees were disorganized because they did
not understand the posted rules and were giving
different information. There were also comments
of referees being on their phones and that there
were too few games. In addition to comments
about the referees there were also a couple of
comments about giving people more information
on the need for food drives and to have a food
bank representative there to answer questions.
All the other comments were about how they
liked the event and wanted to participate in this
event in the future.
In addition to the qualitative data we also got good information from the quantitative data. With the ball activity as
people left the event many people indicated that they had a higher understanding of hunger in Utah (see table 2).
However this information did not match the results of the questionnaire. This could be because they did not take the time
46
to read the question like they would a questionnaire or because they were in a hurry and tossed the ball without thinking.
When we averaged the scores of the questionnaire the mean score of all the questions asked was above 4 which
suggests that people felt relatively good about all aspects of the event. But when we looked closer at the data, specifically
if the event grew peoples awareness of hunger in Utah and how they felt about the registration website, we notice that
people were least satisfied with this.
In table 4 the standard deviation of both of these categories are just above one indicating that there was more varying
results of how people felt and that people either strongly agreed or strongly disagreed. Another interesting thing we
noticed when reviewing our data was when we ran a correlation of all our results as seen in table 1. We were surprised to
see that the strongest correlation was
between the number of games people
played and the participants grown
hunger awareness. In other words, this
data shows that the more games
people played the more their
awareness grew about hunger in Utah.
expected of them during the games. When it comes to changing the registration process there is not much we can do
because the registration process was through the facility. But we can consider changing the facility based on participants
reaction to the registration website or create our own registration process. Based on peoples comments and reactions to
the event I would consider it a success and if we were to make these changes our event could be even better.
